---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 16K | Styx (Bug Byte) | Although the idea and the graphics are quite good, and the responses are quick, the game itself doesn't really come off. | 20% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Bridgemaster (J. Keyne) | An excellent introduction to bridge... Makes very good use of the computer in its teaching. | 30% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Velnor's Lair (Neptune Computing) | I was a sure sucker for this game, each time taking on a different character. | 40% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2 | Combat Zone (Alternative) | This has to be a must for anyone with a serious Spectrum collection. | 40% | ||
Commodore 64/128 | Zork I: The Great Underground Empire (Infocom) | The programs are not cheap but they are worth every penny. | 50% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Knot In 3D (New Generation) | I don't think Knot In 3D will teach you much about strategy, although if you're a maths genius it might; however, it certainly does sharpen your reactions. | 40% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Moria (Severn) | Makes a change from the usual style of adventure. | 40% | ||
Commodore Vic 20 | The Fourth Encounter (Thorn EMI) | You can buy better programs for one third of the price. | 20% | ||
Dragon 32 | Franklin's Tomb (Salamander) | A competent little game... It is going to appeal more to first timers than the hardened cave crawler. | 40% | ||
Commodore 64 | Jumpman (Maplin Electronics) | Simply brilliant! The best arcade game I've seen for the Commodore 64... One that will have you playing well into the early hours of the morning. | 50% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Jumping Jack (Imagine) | Stirring stuff, simple but very addictive... You get enough lives to make a fair impression on the game even on startup. | 50% | ||
Commodore 64 | Cyclons (Rabbit) | The whole program, from title sequence and option menu to game and ranking system, has all the marks of professionalism. | 50% | ||
BBC Model B | Time Lords (Red Shift) | If you don't mind working quite hard to play a game, you might enjoy Time-Lords. Otherwise, this five player, five dimensional board game falls flat on its face. | 20% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Hummer House Of Horror (Lasersound) | More a question of probability than skill... I have given up after several fruitless and not very entertaining hours. | 10% | ||
Oric 48K | Moria (Severn) | To help you in your quest, you can buy spells from the wizard or ointment from the trader, at a price. | 75% | ||
Oric 48K | Zodiac (Tansoft) | Easy to play yet not easy to solve, which is a good combination. | 60% | ||
Oric 48K | Grail (Severn) | All this icing is all very well, but the game itself is more a matter of luck than skill. I found it boring after a while. | 67% | ||
Spectrum 48K | The Pharoah's Tomb (Phipps Associates) | Once you've been right the way through the game there are no surprises left. | 81% | ||
Atari 400/800 | Time Warp (English) | I'd like to say something nice about Time Warp, but I can't. | 22% | ||
Spectrum 16K | Brainstorm (Micromega) | The programs are well written, well crash-proofed and well presented, but I don't think they will set any pulses racing. | 55% |
